Honolulu has no dedicated holiday display ordinance; seasonal decorations are treated as temporary signs under ROH Sec. 21-7.20 with district-specific limits in Sec. 21-7.40.
Honolulu's Land Use Ordinance lacks a standalone holiday decoration chapter. Seasonal and holiday displays on private property are regulated as temporary signs under ROH Sec. 21-7.20, subject to the size and duration limits of the applicable zoning district listed in Sec. 21-7.40. Commercial holiday signage must not include flashing, moving, or animated elements prohibited under Sec. 21-7.30. Holiday displays in public parks fall under the Chapter 10 park rules at ROH Sec. 10-1.2 and generally require a permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Displays that exceed size, duration, or illumination limits can be cited under the sign article, and unpermitted displays in city parks are subject to removal by DPR staff.
